Do you use your local library? Are you looking for a way to support li-brary programs and services? Con-sider attending the Calvert Library Foundation awards dinner, open to all library patrons.

The foundation chooses individu-als who have made significant to the library and the art of letters to honor at the dinner. Past honorees have in-cluded Senator Mike Miller and Kitty Hurrey, said Calvert Library Foun-dation President and Director Scott Deacon. This year’s honorees are the Honorable Wilson H. Parran and M. Kiplinger Hine, Jr.

Parran is the past Boards of Educa-tion Association president, a past pres-ident of the Board of County Commis-sioners, and a trustee at the College of Southern Maryland, said Calvert Li-brary Foundation director and dinner coordinator Ron Crupi. Hine is a past president of the Southern Maryland Regional Library, the former president of the Calvert Library Board of Trust-

ees, and the chair of the Maryland Ad-visory Council on Libraries.

“They’re two very noteworthy indi-viduals,” Deacon said.

Dinners are $100 per seat, and busi-nesses or individuals have the ability host one or more reserved tables for eight people, in their name or in hon-or of a specified honoree, for $1,000 per table. Table sponsorships are still available, Deacon said.

Reservations are required and can be made at any of the four Calvert Li-brary branches, or by mail addressed to Calvert Library Foundation, 850 Costley Lane, Prince Frederick, Md., 20678. All proceeds will benefit Cal-vert Library, Deacon said. Funds help pay for programs, equipment, and needs not fully funded in the operat-ing budget.

This year’s dinner will be held on Sept. 19 in The Vianney Room at St. John Vianney Church in Prince Fred-erick at 6 p.m.

Don’t Miss the 2015 Awards Dinner - A Wonderful Evening!

Southern Maryland Electric Coop-erative (SMECO) has been alerted to a fraud scam in which customers are asked to provide payment information in order to avoid having their electric service disconnected. According to Tom Den-nison, managing director of government and public affairs, several customers have recently notified SMECO that they have received fraudulent calls from peo-ple threatening to disconnect their elec-tric service.

SMECO warns customer-members not to provide personal financial or electric account information to unauthorized callers. Dennison said, “We continue to issue alerts when customers notify us that these scams are taking place. Not only are they a nuisance, but scam artists can steal thousands of dollars from un-suspecting residents and businesses. We want to help prevent this type of crime by educating our customers whenever we hear about people being tricked out of their hard-earned money.”

Dennison added, “If customers re-ceive a phone call from someone threat-ening to disconnect their power, they may hang up and call SMECO directly to check their account balance. Our con-tact center is open 24 hours a day, every day. SMECO’s phone number is 1-888-440-3311. The phone number is printed at the top of the bill and that’s the num-ber customers should use to reach our contact center.” Customers should not provide Green Dot, Western Union, or

Moneygram payments to callers claim-ing to be from SMECO.

“Customer-members should know how much they owe and when pay-ments are due. Electric utilities follow state regulations and have set schedules for billing and payment,” Dennison ex-plained. SMECO bills are issued month-ly. Overdue amounts are identified on a customer’s bill. If payments are late, SMECO sends a pink termination notice.

SMECO only calls customers who owe a past due balance.

SMECO usually uses an automated phone system with a recorded message; rarely will SMECO employees make personal “collection” phone calls.

Collection calls are made about 10 days before service is to be terminated. SMECO does not require payment at the time of the call.

SMECO does not make collection calls or terminate service on weekends or holidays.

If service is going to be terminated, a SMECO collector will knock on the cus-tomer’s door before turning off service.

SMECO collectors will accept credit card payments, checks, or money orders, but they do not accept cash.

For more information about email scams, phone scams, and SMECO’s collection process, customers can visit SMECO’s website at www.smeco.coop/safety/scam-alerts.

Southern Maryland Electric Coop-erative (SMECO) held its 77th Annual Meeting on Wednesday, September 2, 2015. The event is held to give custom-er-members the opportunity to vote for SMECO members to serve on the Co-op’s Board of Directors. SMECO held the Annual Meeting at the Blue Crabs Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, where it has been held since 2009.

SMECO customer-members regis-tered to vote between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The Cooperative had 819 members reg-ister at the meeting, and 394 members voted by absentee mail-in ballot. The following SMECO members were elect-ed to serve on SMECO’s Board for three years: Samuel “Jack” Hammett in Cal-vert County; Fern G. Brown and Ken-neth L. Dyson in Charles County; and W. Rayner Blair III and William R. Cul-lins III in St. Mary’s County. Customer-members also voted to accept several bylaw amendments.

Richard Winkler, Chairman of the SMECO Board of Directors, welcomed SMECO’s customer-members to the ball park and called the meeting to order. J. Ernest Bell II of Leonardtown served as the meeting chairman, and John Bris-coe, pastor of Restoration Free Gos-pel Church in Lexington Park, led the invocation.

SMECO’s president and CEO, Austin J. Slater, Jr., reviewed the Co-op’s ac-tivities of the past year in his remarks. Slater discussed what he believes is cus-tomers’ highest priority: reliable and de-

pendable electric ser-vice. He said that the Maryland Public Ser-vice Commission held a hearing on August 24, 2015, at which SMECO was determined to be the only electric util-ity in the state to have met or exceeded all of the Commission’s 2014 service quality and reliability standards. That statement drew applause from the au-dience. He described how SMECO’s electric grid was put to the test the past two winters, with load reaching an all-time system peak of 1,003 megawatts on February 20, 2015.

Slater also explained that the Co-op’s Southern Maryland Reliability Proj-ect was completed in November 2014. The project took seven years and cost $108 million and completes a 230-kilo-volt loop, first envisioned in the early 1970s, through SMECO’s service terri-tory. He said the criticality of the line was demonstrated in April when Pepco experienced a failure near Ryceville that shut down a significant number of SMECO customers, as well as parts of suburban Maryland and DC. New line and substation construction projects in Charles County were also highlighted.

According to Slater, “with this construc-tion comes costs, and not surprisingly, reliability does have a price tag.” Slater went on to describe SMECO’s rates for energy and the cost of delivering energy.

SMECO was awarded its eighth J.D. Power award for superior residential customer service, and Slater credited customer surveys with revealing trends toward mobile phones, laptops, and tab-lets and away from desktop PCs. Slater said that over half of SMECO customers have elected electronic billing and that the Co-op works to keep pace with ad-vancing technologies. Renewables and solar energy are becoming an increas-ingly important component of SMECO’s energy mix, according to Slater. And customers interested in solar can use a tool on the Co-op’s website called Watt-Plan to step through an analysis that uses aerial maps and sophisticated cal-culations to produce financial estimates. Community solar is also on SMECO’s roadmap, Slater said.

In the concourse of the stadium, SME-CO hosted informational displays about its customer programs and services with an emphasis on emergency preparedness and power restoration. The Co-op now offers a text messaging service and a mobile-friendly web app, SMECO 24/7, for reporting outages and paying bills. Customers can download the free app from Google Play or Apple iTunes. For the texting service, customers text REG, for registration, to 76326, for SMECO, on their phone to be able to report out-ages and receive status updates. More information is available on SMECO’s website at smeco.coop/smeco247. For the first time at a SMECO annual meet-ing, customer-members could partici-pate in a scavenger hunt by visiting each display table and learning about the Co-op’s programs. More than 170 partici-pants were rewarded with a tee shirt em-blazoned with “SMECO members rock 24/7” across the back.

Co-op personnel were on hand to pro-vide information about energy-saving programs such as CoolSentry and the Quick Home Energy Check-up. Cus-tomers could ask questions of employ-ees who work in the Co-op’s rates de-partment and meter operations. Cus-tomer-members were also encouraged to enroll in SMECO’s Members Helping Members program to donate a monthly amount to help less fortunate residents keep their power on. Participation in the Action Committee for Rural Electrifica-

tion was also encouraged. Joe Lehan, voice of the Southern

Maryland Blue Crabs, served as the em-cee for the entertainment prior to the meeting during which the Sara Gray Band performed a one-hour set and customers won prizes for bingo games. The La Plata High School Navy Junior ROTC presented the colors, and the Southern Mix Chorus performed the national anthem at the beginning of the meeting. Free ice cream and sodas were available before the meeting, and each customer-member who registered re-ceived an insulated tote bag.

Registered members were eligible to win one of 50 electric bill credits of $50 each. In addition, winners of 15 cash prizes of $100 each and a well-traveled SMECO vehicle were randomly selected from the registered members in atten-dance. Elaine Morgan of Hollywood won the SMECO vehicle, a four-door 2004 Chevy Malibu, with AM/FM ra-dio, air conditioning, and 104,000 miles.

The Rehabili-tation Centers of Southern Mary-land (RCSM) are proud to an-nounce that, for the sixth con-secutive year, they have been awarded the contract to pro-vide athletic training services to all Charles County public high schools.

This decision to con-tinue athletic training by the Charles county public schools allows a nationally certified and state licensed athletic trainer to be placed in each school. The duties of the athletic trainer include evaluating and treating ath-letic injuries, working with coaches on injury prevention programs, physically prepar-ing athletes for competition, and providing immediate care for injuries that occur during games and practice. In past seasons, the athletic trainers in Charles County have helped care for over 80 concussions and 1200 inju-ries during a single school year.

Athletic trainers must have a Bachelors or Master’s de-gree, are required to pass a national board of certifica-tion exam, and are licensed by the state of Maryland. Once licensed, the athletic trainer works under the care of a supervising physician. The athletic trainer main-tains close contact with phy-sician as well as the physical and occupational therapists to guide the injured athlete through the care needed to ensure a safe return to play.

In addition to athletic training services, RCSM initiated a student athletic trainer program. The student athletic training program is open to all high school stu-dents in Charles County who may be interested in a future healthcare career. It allows them to gain hands on expe-rience while working under

the direct su-pervision of the school’s athletic trainer. RCSM also helped Charles Coun-ty’s schools implement the ImPACT con-cussion test-ing program.

ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is a com-puter based program that all Charles and St. Mary’s County athletes use to help evaluate an athlete who may have suffered a concussion. The results of the test help ensure a safe return to sports for all athletes following a possible concussive episode. The athletic trainers along with school athletic directors administer the pre and post-tests to athletes. The athletic trainers follow a very rigor-ous post-concussion return to play protocol based on the results of the test.

RCSM has provided athlet-ic training services to the St. Mary’s County high schools for game coverage and part time in the schools for nearly 10 years. They have provid-ed physical and occupational therapy in Southern Mary-land for 25 years. RCSM often provides opportunities for students to come into one of RCSM’s 3 offices to observe the physical and oc-cupational therapists and fur-ther explore these potential career opportunities. This is just one of the many ways RCSM is working to give back to the community.

For further information on athletic training please con-tact Neil Brown PT, ATC, and Director of Athletic Training Services for the Re-habilitation Centers of South-ern Maryland, at 301-870-7366 or [email protected].

On September 2, 2015 Kathy Baker, Carol Ben-ke, Susan Ude and Jo Ann Martin of the Republi-can Women of Calvert County donated an assorted variety of sports equipment to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. In the spring of 2015, Sheriff Mike Evans had a conversation with Betty Figgins-Hill of the Republican Women of Calvert County where he explained to her that when he was a Maryland State Trooper back in the 80’s how he would carry around a football in his police car so that when the opportunity presented itself, he would play catch with the kids in the neighborhoods where he patrolled. The Republi-can Women of Calvert County thought it would be a great idea to give current Sheriff’s Deputies the same

opportunities to connect with the youth of Calvert County that Sheriff Evans had when he patrolled the same neighborhoods. The sports equipment will be distributed to deputies, so they will be able to keep the equipment in their vehicles and when the opportu-nity presents itself, they too will be able to play catch, Frisbee or soccer with any youth that they may come into contact with. In this day and age, it is important for our local law enforcement to not only engage with youth in the community, but also to foster positive re-lationships and memories with the youth of Calvert County.

Completion of the new Navy Museum building is one of the most anticipated openings in the Coun-ty. Along with the opening come higher expectations of the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum As-sociation (PRNAMA) for continued public engagement through exhibits, events and public outreach and also in the realm of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media outlets. Social media provides PRNAMA a way to distribute relevant museum infor-mation to far more people than can be reached in person. It is vital that post-ings from the PRNAMA be regular, di-verse in content and engaging. The only way that this can be accomplished is if everyone contributes! Here are some examples of content the Association would like to post along with related and all important photographs.

Historical and current Naval Aviation flight test activities at PAX. This can include TPS, NATC, NAWC, aircraft, test equipment, prototypes, simulation, and specific flight test procedures. Tell-ing the story on these activities is at the core of PRNAM’s mission

A Basis of Estimate? What is that?

As an important component of the ongo-ing effort to build the Calvert County govern-ment FY-17 budget, we are introducing some new terms. A Basis of Estimate is one of them which should be the vital component to make the county government operations more trans-parent to the citizens. The following explains what a Basis of Estimate is and is not.

First a little background. We are asking the staff to identify the Services they provide our citizens and the Functions they perform to ac-complish their mission of serving the public. Then we ask them to identify the Resources they need such as Salaries, Skills, Operating Expenses, and Contract Services. The Basis of Estimate therefore is simply the justification for those requested resources.

However, the Basis of Estimate must be in layman’s language so that anyone can under-stand what work is being done and understand the needed costs. The description is not a job description although some understanding of the needed skills is included. The best way to demonstrate what a Basis of Estimate is would be through the following example – Not Coun-ty Related.

Let’s say you were hiring someone to pro-vide complete landscaping for your home and they quote you a price of $50,000 per year. I have no idea whether that is realistic or not, but bear with me. Whoa, you might say, that is a lot of money, why do you need that much to pro-vide the Service called Landscape My Home?

The landscaper may provide you a basis of the estimated costs. That is done by describ-

ing that for your yard, it will require his crew of 3 grass cutters being on-site once a week to cut and trim. The landscaper will need to apply grass feeding and weeding products 3 times a year (identifying those costs for you). Addition-ally, removal of some scrubs and their replace-ment with an improved arrangement of plants, fountains, and the like all have their costs and timing constraints.

So, that Basis of Estimate the landscaper provides you essentially details the number of employees needed, their skills and salaries, the amount of various products and their costs as well as a sense of how often the landscaping crew will be on the job. Note, what was not de-scribed was how they cut the grass, what they choose to plant or remove, that they have to dig holes for the plants, nor what they are respon-sible for doing/supervising.

In short, the Basis of Estimate is a means for the everyday citizen to understand the Services and Functions being provided and sufficient cost related information to determine if the ex-pected value meets their expectations.

So, as we prepare to unveil the new approach to building the budget in October, be ready to gain a greater insight into county operations, the costs, and see the wide range of value your county government is providing for your rela-tively low tax rates. You will see this as a good news story.

The Board of Education of Calvert County Public Schools will implemented a consent agenda at its meeting on Sept. 10. A consent agenda is a meet-ing practice that packages rou-tine committee reports, Board meeting minutes, and other non-controversial items not requir-ing discussion or independent action as one agenda item. The objective is to increase efficien-cy, dedicate meaningful time to complex decisions and be mind-ful of staff resources.

This practice, according to Board President Tracy H. Mc-Guire, makes efficient use of time while maintaining the in-

tegrity of the Board process. She said, “Prior to or during the meeting, any Board member may direct an item to be moved to the regular agenda for discus-sion. The rights and privileges of Board members are not lim-ited in any way by the use of a consent agenda.”

Items in the consent agenda include adoption of the agenda and minutes; financial, enroll-ment and construction reports; and approval of items—such as policies—that have been posted for public comment for 30 days and for which no comments have been received.

On Sept. 3, at approxi-mately 1940 hours members of the Calvert County Sher-iff’s Office Patrol Bureau and Crash Reconstruction Team responded to the intersection of MD Route 4 and Rousby Hall Road for the report of a serious motor vehicle crash. Upon arrival units located three vehicles that were in-volved in a collision. One of the vehicles involved was a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Preliminary investigation revealed a 2001 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by Conrado Rago Fabricante Jr, a 55 year old male of Broomes Island, was traveling northbound on MD Route 4 in the area of Rousby Hall Road. The motorcycle was also occupied by a rear passenger, Lauren Shel-by Pitt, a 27 year old female of Hollywood

MD. As the motorcycle en-tered the intersection, a 2009 Jeep Wrangler operated by Joseph James Illar, a 57 year old male of Lusby, entered the intersection in an attempt to make a left turn to travel west on Rousby Hall Road and col-lided with the motorcycle. As a result of the collision both the operator and the rear pas-senger were ejected from the motorcycle. After the colli-sion the motorcycle continued

travelling west and struck a 2014 Mercedes Benz SUV, which was stopped on Rousby Hall Road waiting to turn right onto north-bound MD Route 4. The Mercedes was op-erated by Julianne Robin Posey, a 53 year old female of Broomes Island. Subsequent to the collision with the Mercedes, the mo-torcycle and the Mercedes caught fire.

Fabricante and Pitt were both killed and were pronounced dead on the scene by emergency medical personnel. Illar was treated on the scene for minor injuries and was released. Posey also sustained minor injuries and was released after assessment on the scene.

At this time the causation of the collision and fault remains under investigation.

The bodies of Fabricante and Pitt were transported to the Office of the Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Baltimore, MD where an autopsy will be performed.

Deputy W. Rector and other members of the Crash Reconstruction Team are con-ducting an investigation into the events that led up to the collision. Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact Dep. Rector at 410-535-2800 or via e-mail at [email protected]

On Sept. 5 at approximately 3:39 p.m., Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Patrol units were dispatched to a serious per-sonal injury crash on Maryland Route 231 near Heather Road in Prince Freder-ick. Upon arrival units observed a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2003 GMC En-voy with heavy front end damage. It was evident the vehicles had been involved in a head on offset collision. The passenger compartment of the GMC Envoy was se-verely compromised during the collision.

There were two patients in the Envoy and one in the Silverado.

Due to the extent of the driver of the En-voy’s injuries, Patrol Units called for the Crash Reconstruction Team to respond to assist with the investigation. Members from the Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, the Hun-tingtown Volunteer Fire Department and Calvert Advanced Life Support responded to the scene and extricated the patients from both vehicles.

The driver of the Envoy was severely injured during the collision and was transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced deceased by the emergency room doctor. The deceased was identified as Peter Schroeder, 59, of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland. The front seat passenger of the Envoy was the wife of the deceased, Mary Schroeder, 54, also of Chesapeake Beach. Mary Schroeder was transported to the Medstar trauma center in Washington DC via MSP heli-

copter where she is list-ed in serious but stable condition.

The driver of the Silverado was identi-fied as Robert Rambo, 57, of Prince Frederick, Maryland. Rambo was transported via MSP helicopter to Medstar trauma center in Washington DC where he is listed in stable condition.

Preliminary investigation by the Crash Reconstruction Team revealed the Chev-rolet Silverado operated by Rambo was travelling westbound along Maryland Route 231 when it crossed the double yel-low center line and drove onto the shoul-der. The GMC Envoy was travelling eastbound on Rt. 231. The operator of the Envoy drove onto the eastbound shoulder in an effort to avoid being struck by the Chevrolet Silverado. The Chevrolet Sil-verado struck the Envoy on the eastbound shoulder, pushing the Envoy backwards, and destroyed the Envoy’s passenger compartment. The Crash Reconstruc-tion Team members gathered all pertinent evidence from the scene and documented their findings.

The Patrol Units on scene detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage emit-ting from the passenger compartment of Rambo’s vehicle. Deputies responded to Medstar in Washington DC where a blood draw was administered to determine

blood alcohol content. It is believed alcohol and driver error are the major contributing fac-tors in this crash.

If you witnessed this crash or the series of events that led up to it please contact Deputy First Class Jeff Hardes-

ty of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Crash Reconstruction Team. Dfc. Hard-esty can be reached at 410-535-2800 or email him at [email protected].

Art Week in Solomons 5 Days of Creativity

Feature Story

By Crista DockrayStaff Writer

An art filled week is in store as Annma-rie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center and carmen’s gallery get ready to fill Solomons with beauty at their annual events, Artsfest and Solomons Plein Air Festival.

Although the two events are separate, both started with the goal to promote the arts in the Solomons area. Now Artsfest is 22 years in the running and the Plein Air Festival is four, although Carmen has been hosting various Plein Air events for around 25 years.

Plein Air painting refers to the idea of simply painting outside instead of indoors, a practice of impressionist painters like Mon-et. This year, out of 45 applicants, only 25 hand picked artists from around the country will take on this style on Tuesday, Sept. 15 through Saturday, Sept. 20. Their paintings will be judged by the famed artist Hiu Lai Chong. According to the Plein Air Festival website, Hiu Lai Chong is an award winning painter and many of her pieces are displayed in museums around the country. Chong is also part of several art related organizations, including the American Society of Marine Artists and Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painter Association, the Laguna Plein Air Painter Association and the Washington Society of Landscape Painters.

An addition to the 25 is the Invited Art-

ist Marius Zabinski of Brussels, Belgium, who will paint among the artists. Zabinski, a Cubist artist, is considered a master in his style and is compared to the big names be-fore him.

All artists will paint Tuesday through Fri-day, with different events and locations as their inspiration. Artists will turn in their paintings on Friday at noon, before final event, The Affaire of The Arts, on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Tuesday, Sept. 15 the artists will paint and register throughout Solomons Island before their reception dinner. Wednesday, Sept. 16, they may paint anywhere in Calvert County, including places like Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, Kings Landing Park and Calvert Cliffs State Park. The festival will have a Quick Draw on Thursday, Sept. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m., where the artists have two hours to paint and race the sunset at the Riverwalk. The public is welcome to join and compete with the artists for a $25 fee or come and watch for free. Painting stops at the buzzer, the pieces are judged and awarded by Chong, then become available for immediate sale. All participants can win cash prizes. Before the quick draw and on Friday, Sept. 18, loca-tions like Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts center, Calvert Marine Museum and Waterman’s Wharf are suggested locations for artists to take inspiration. All artists will be tracked so that observers may find and watch their favorite artists work.

In the morning, on Saturday, Sept. 19

from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the festival will host Paint the Town for a Cause at the Riverwalk, where anyone of any level and age can come and paint what they see for free, including antique cars. Registration is required either onsite or by a printed form available on-line. Chick-Fil-A will be there handing out coupons and many of the students from lo-

cal schools will come and participate and have the chance to win free family admis-sion to Annmarie Gardens. At the end of the event, artists can sell their work and 40 percent of the profit will go to charity and 60 percent will stay in pocket. There will be cash awards this day and the pieces will be judged by Carolyn Egeli, a well-known por-trait painter.

On Saturday night from 6 to 9 p.m., the artists’ work will be displayed in carmen’s gallery for the Affaire of the Arts event. Ac-cording to the website, the backyard of the gallery will have a cash bar, live music by Ritmo Caché and hors d’oeuvres from King-fishers. The event will be accessible with a $25 fee that can go towards the purchase of a painting. Awards will be given and all 25 artists will be in attendance. The paintings will be held in carmen’s gallery until Sun-day at 4 p.m. when they will then be taken down and brought back with artists. The Festival will provide six local charities with


a portion of the proceeds and would like to thank Avian, their presenting sponsor, for helping make their event possible.

The Artsfest presented by Annmarie Sculpture Gardens and Arts Center is a two-day event from Sept. 19 through the 20, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. rain or shine, overlap-ping on the last two days of the Plein Air Festival. According to Bill Stevenson, An-nmarie Garden’s Director of Marketing and Development, the event typically gets be-tween 11,000 and 12,000 people throughout the two days. Most people come from the tri-county area, but they get people from as far away as the Midwest, the North East and Florida.

On the two days, around 165 artists’ booths from 14 different states will set up their variety of products both inside and outside. Of those 165, Annmarie Garden is

happy to announce the presence of Andrew Baxter, a bronze conservator, Lisa Tettimer, a jeweler who works with copper and silver and Keith Harancher, a photographer.

There will be more than 20 performers on two stages dancing in different styles and playing everything from jazz to gospel and bluegrass to a capella. Some of the per-formers will be The Bootleggers, Folk Sal-ad Trio, Patuxent Voices and The Lovejoy Group. There will be a mime, a stilt walker, a living statue and bubble magic.

Like the Plein Air Festival. all artists must go through a formal application process. According to Stevenson, they must submit a description of their work and creative pro-cess as well as images of their work. They are then selected by their originality and craftsmanship.

During the event, a few of the artists will

win awards made by Garner & Duff Flow-ers. Some include the Arts Council of Cal-vert County Best of Show Award, awarded to the best visual artist, the Jan Kleponis of O'Brien Realty Best Demonstration Award, awarded to the best demonstrating visual artist and the Calvert Marina Performing Artist Award, awarded to the best perform-ing artist.

For kids who need a different form of excitement, there are many free stations around the grounds that will entertain with things like hula hoops and beach balls. There will be a discovery tent inspired by games, there is a cardboard city, a fairy lolly, a patio play area, a creekside overlook and the Studio School and the Clay Studio.

Food and drinks will be available for pur-chase and will offer everything from chick-en teriyaki to cotton candy.

Ticket fees are $6 for adults, free for members and children 11 and under. No pets allowed and no advance ticket sales. Parking is free. All forms of payment are accepted. Check online and in the mail for coupons.

On the last day of both events, Sept. 20, Annmarie Gardens was kind enough to give free admission to the 25 artists from the Plein Air Festival in order for them to see more examples of art in the area.

Although there is not much more “cross-

pollination”, as Carmen Lee Nance Gam-brill, owner of carmen’s gallery called it, between the two festivals, both events have future plans to work more together.

“I think it is great when more than one event can work together on highlighting Solomons unique charm,” said Stevenson.

Gambrill says that each of these events focuses on the art in Solomons, but they feature different steps in the process. The Plein Air Festival concentrates on the cre-ation and “artists in action” and the Artsfest concentrates on the admiration of a finished product. Both are great ways to discover tal-ent by or featuring the local area and sup-port the events that hold them.

carmen’s gallery is located at 14550 Solo-mons Island Rd. in Solomons.

Joan B. Marsh, 84

Joan B. Marsh died of complications related to Alzheimer’s disease at Hospice House in Calla-way, Maryland, on Aug. 24. The daughter of the late George K. Brengle and Gladys Ayres, she was born in Brunswick. She attended Western Maryland College (now Mc-Daniel College), graduating in 1952. In December 1952 she married her husband Jim, and began her career as an educa-tor, teaching in the Frederick County and Carroll County public school systems. In 1958, seeing a need for an early childhood education program, she co-founded Just Five Folks, a preschool/kindergarten for five-year-olds in Westminster, Maryland. In 1966 she and her husband moved to Leonardtown. When the State of Mary-land passed legislation requiring the regulation of all home daycare settings, Marsh was asked to take charge of this new licensing program for St. Mary’s, Charles, and Calvert counties. Working for the St. Mary’s County Health De-partment, she logged thousands of miles throughout Southern Maryland, advising home caregivers on the best practices for the care and development of young chil-dren. It was not an easy task, informing long-time caregivers that they must mod-ify their homes to come into compliance with state law or risk being shut down. In 1981 she earned a Master of Education in Early Children from the University of Maryland. Her expertise was called upon by the St. Mary’s County Board of Edu-cation, on which she served from 1986-1991. She retired from the Health Depart-

ment in 1991, and was asked by Father Andrew White School to be a long-term substitute for one of the kindergarten teachers. She stayed at the school for two years, and ended her professional career doing what she loved best: teaching and caring for young children. Marsh was a member of the board of trustees of the St. Mary’s County Library from 1997 until her illness prevented her from serving. She also was a member and secretary of the Three Oaks Center. Survivors include her four children, Lynn Marsh Freeman, Julia Marsh Brown, and James K. Marsh of Washington, D.C.; Patricia Marsh De-hoorne of Chelsea, Michigan; and nine grandchildren. The family will receive friends on Friday, September 18 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Brinsfield Funeral Home, 22955 Hollywood Rd., Leonardtown. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, September 19 at 11 a.m., at St. Francis Xavier Church, 21370 New-towne Neck Rd., Leonardtown. Inter-ment will follow in the church cemetery. Contributions in memory of Mrs. Marsh may be made to Friends of Newtowne Manor House, 21370 Newtowne Neck Rd., Leonardtown. Friends of St. Mary’s County Library, Friends of the Library, P.O. Box 165, Leonardtown, or Hospice of St. Mary’s, P.O. Box 625, Leonardtown.

After completing high school in Lausanne, Switzerland, she returned to Boston and graduated from Wheelock College in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Educa-tion. Thomas cared deeply about chil-dren and had a full career as an early childhood educator spanning more than 25 years, including head teacher roles with St. Paul’s Nursery & Day School in Alexandria, Virginia and the Calverton School in Prince Frederick, Maryland. In retirement, she played an active role volunteering with the Calvert Memorial Hospital Auxiliary since 1997. She contributed over 3,000 hours to the Auxiliary, and served as its president from 2008 to 2010. She was also the chair person for fund raising events, led the project for the Calvert Memorial Hospital Cookbook and was recently named the Volun-teer Sunshine Girl. A loving wife and proud mother fiercely devoted to her family, Thomas was also a breast cancer survivor and a long-standing parishioner of Christ Church in Cal-vert County. She was a sweet and car-ing friend, thoughtful neighbor, dedi-cated volunteer and gourmet cook, as well as an amazing human being and a true fighter. Thomas is survived by her husband of 31 years, Neal Winston Thomas; sons, David R. Morgan and Brian C. Morgan and his wife Claudia P. Morgan; and grandchildren, Russell P., Connor P. and Annabella P. Mor-

gan, as well as Neal and Kim’s devot-ed Cocker Spaniel companion, Heidi. A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 11 a.m. at Christ Church, 3100 Broomes Island Rd., Port Republic.

Fred E. Voss, 84

He married his wife of nearly 60 years, Joan Hens Voss, on January 28, 1956 in Hamburg, N.Y. Together they raised seven children: Fred (Gael), Rich, Kevin, Brendan (Danielle), Joanna, Chris and Greg (Maria). Voss trav-eled the world for business but some of his favorite memories were that of his trips, with his family to the south-western United States or visits, with Joan, to their sons in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Florida. In his late 70’s he was still whitewater rafting with his children. During one of these trips he earned the self-given nick-name, “The Inspiration”. He enjoyed unusual foods but always looked for-ward to having a lobster or Maryland Blue Claw. He was an avid reader who loved suspense and intrigue. Listen-ing to classical music was a passion of his, his cell phone ringtone featured an

They can crawl or they can fly, but as long as it has six legs, it is an insect. This is one of the facts the Battle Creek Cypress Swap taught the kids at their Insects Abound program last Wednesday.

The program was broken up into three different parts. In the begin-ning the children were allowed the run of different stations, which included insect olympics, insect or not sorting cards, a bug puppet show, a coloring station, a search through leaves for rubber bugs, building blocks and information about bug parts. After the stations, the kids sat in a circle, hugged their favorite stuffed bug and read bug books. This afternoon session, they read “On Beyond Bugs” by Tish Rabe, featuring the Cat and the Hat.

After, each child was given a plastic jar and the outdoor search for bugs began. The search went from flower bushes to under tree stumps and rocks.

The children found everything from crickets to spiders and even a cicada. Some even put leaves and sticks inside their jars to make homes for their bugs. They were re-minded to only keep one bug in a jar at a time and to return them to their natural habitat before moving on to the next.

One of the participants, Sully, age four, commented that he did not look for bugs near his home, but af-ter this program, he wants to start.

At the end of the day, they finished up with singing the bug version of “head, shoulder, knees and toes” replacing it with “head, thorax, abdomen,” before head-ing home.

Insects Abound was for 3 to 5 year olds, but adult attendance is required. There are two sections to choose from, one from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and another from 11 a.m. to noon.

The program is $8 per fam-ily for non-members and free for members. Advanced registration is required. Payment can be up to the day of the event.

Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary is located at 2880 Gray's Rd. in Prince Frederick. For more information about Battle Creek Cypress Swamp’s programs and future Insect Abounds, visit www.calvertparks.org/bccss.html or call 410-535-5327.

Calvert County Public Schools (CCPS) is the recipient of a $37,000 Raytheon-EiE District Scholarship to support engineering in elemen-tary schools. The district will use the award to implement the EiE (Engineering is Elementary) unit “A Sticky Situation: Cleaning an Oil Spill” with all fifth graders this fall.

“This is a great investment in the Calvert County schools,” says Janel McPhillips, the district’s PreK-8 science supervisor. “We’re sur-rounded by water here in Calvert County—the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. The activities in the oil spill unit will also link to our state standards for environmental literacy.”

Each $37,000 Raytheon-EiE scholarship supports a profes-sional development workshop for 25 teachers, EiE classroom materi-als for each teacher, and tuition for a district representative to attend a Teacher Educator Institute to build the skills to deliver EiE professional development for more teachers in the district. “We would not have been able to do this without the Ray-theon scholarship,” McPhillips says.

Raytheon-EiE District Scholar-ships are one element of a $2 million award by Raytheon to the Museum of Science, Boston to jumpstart use of the curriculum in schools nation-wide. Twelve district scholarships have been awarded to date.

Are you interested in helping your library? Are you a teen? The Teen Advisory Council of Students (T.A.C.O.S.) may be just the place for you!

According to the Calvert Library website, “Calvert Library needs your help planning events, revamping our Teen Zone and other awesome things.”

Public Services Librarian and Teen Coor-dinator Tiffany Sutherland has been work-ing with the T.A.C.O.S. for three years. The team’s goal is to make the library a go-to place for teens by offering a safe place for them to hang out and socialize, she said. T.A.C.O.S. is open to students who are in private schools, public schools, and who are home schooled. The team is designed to be as inclusive as possible, Sutherland said.

“It’s just a really neat experience,” said longtime team member and recent Hunting-town High School graduate Camden Raines.

Her favorite part of being involved in T.A.C.O.S. was the meetings and the activi-

ties, she said, and she intends to come back and visit during her Christmas and summer breaks.

This year, the library may offer teen volun-teer activities outside T.A.C.O.S., Sutherland said, though the plan for those opportunities isn’t fully formed yet.

Free food is available at every meeting and students get service learning hours for their involvement in T.A.C.O.S., Sutherland said.

Raines encourages any teen to try T.A.C.O.S. out, even if they don’t think it’s for them.

“You’ll most likely end up loving it,” Raines said.

Teens don’t have to be involved in T.A.C.O.S. to participate in teen events at lo-cal libraries, Sutherland said. Teens are wel-comes to drop in at any activity that looks interesting to them.

The first T.A.C.O.S. meeting of the year will be Sept. 17 at 5 p.m., followed by a Just Dance party at 6 p.m. For more information, visit calvert.lib.md.us.

Historic Sotterley Plantation, a national historic landmark since 2000, is pleased to announce the grand opening of their first permanent exhibit “Land, Lives, and La-bor”. Their new exhibit will tell the story about the lives of the men and women dur-ing the 160 years of slavery on the plan-tation. Some laborers were free men, but many were slaves that could only survive from birth to death in an unjust situation.

“Sotterley understands that there was a lot of suffering here… that’s what we’re hoping people will takeaway, that these in-justices cant ever happen again, but it’s un-derstanding that they did, and being honest about it,” said Excuective Director Nancy Easterling.

The spark for the new exhibit started over a year ago when Sotterley applied for the Maryland African American Preserva-tion Program Grant. The grant was meant to preserve the historic building with much needed restorations, however the grant would also fund an exhibit if it stayed for 15 years. Executive Director Nancy East-erling said that this was perfect because due to monetary issues, they were never able to have more than a traveling exhibit.

“Land, Lives, and Labor” will be held in the The Corn Crib, a small farm build-ing on site that was built in the early 1800s. Although it had some newer renovations and held an old, unused exhibit, it has been directly touched and worked on by the men and woman of the past. As Easterling de-scribes it, “It’s a story that we need to tell in a place that makes sense.”

The exhibit, designed by Dennis Kund, features panels on the change of the land and the estate, timelines, slave records,

agricultural calendars, domestic work, sea-sonal jobs, forms of resistance and more. There will be interactive pieces like flip-books, buttons, and tools to examine, all with realistic farm noises as a backdrop. All the information within came from rela-tives of workers from the site, staff, and old records.

Outside they have tools and miscella-neous items that were either used directly on the property or donated by the sur-rounding community to show what would

have been used. They are displayed to show just how large of a variety of skills and people were needed to run the farm day to day.

Some of the pieces are in working order and they hope to have live demon-strations of tools such as the corn grinder and the saw. Their goal is to try and make it a living and breath-ing exhibit with demonstra-tions also in trades such as blacksmithing, carpentry and cooperage.

The opening of the exhibit will take place on Friday, Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. in Historic Sotterley’s 18th century Warehouse. The grand opening will feature guest speakers such as Julie King and Gary Dennis. Reg-istration is preferred and access to the new exhibit will be free to those who attended the talks.

Coming next, Sotterley is also pleased to announce that they will be opening their 1830s Slave Cabin to the public sometime in the fall before the end of 2015. Easterling says that you cannot learn about a place un-less you step inside it, and she cannot wait for the guests to experience it.

“Its an honor to be able to be a part of this and bring this to the forefront….sometimes you get to do something [at a non-profit]

that is core and central to your mission, what you need to do as an organization, and that’s why being able to bring this to life is so exciting for all of us,” said Easterling about both projects.

Historic Sotterley plantation is located at 44300 Sotterley Lane in Hollywood. Their hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays they are closed to the public. Tickets range from $3 to $10 and children under 6 and members are free. Both exhibits will be open year- round, even in the off-season when the visitor’s center is closed.

For more information about Historic Sotterley Plantation or its new exhibit, visit www.Sotterley.org or call 301-373-2280.

The CMM Fossil Club will present a free paleo double-header public lecture on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 2:30 p.m. Join us for presentations by fossil club member, Debbie Palmer, and local student, Adam Lindholm, in the Harms Gallery.

Debbie Palmer will speak about her trip to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to donate a unique fossil from her collection and provide supporting information on that specimen. Her presentation will also provide some behind-the-scenes of her experiences.

Adam Lindholm will present his 8th-grade sci-ence fair project on what the aerodynamic impact size of pterosaurs’ cranial crests had on their abil-ity to fly. Pterosaurs were prehistoric reptiles that flew using a wing membrane that extended from an

elongated fourth finger to their knee. Many sported large and extravagant head crests that might appear to have impeded their flight. His project examined the aerodynamic effects of these crests.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, military with valid I.D. and AAA members, and $4.00 for children ages 5 - 12; children under 5 and museum members are always admitted free. For more in-formation about the museum, upcoming events, or membership, visit the website at www.calvert-marinemuseum.com or call 410-326-2042.
